What Does It All Mean?In November, King World News warned its global readers that the Dow/Gold ratio had turned decisively in favor of gold. Well, a month and a half later the Gold/Oil ratio has skyrocketed from below 20:1 close to 30:1 (currently 29.7:1). It is incredibly extended above its long-term median average of 15.5. This indicates how fragile the global financial system really is at this point in history. Meaning, what we are seeing can now only be compared to what took place during the Great Depression. Meanwhile, gold investors must remain patient. Your time is coming. As global stock markets plunge this time around, unlike 2008, gold has been rallying and is now close to attacking the key $1,300 level. This is exactly how gold normally trades during a major plunge in stock markets. Expect that trend to continue.
